Details

The Yamaha APX700II electro acoustic guitar is a fantastic model for players and performers who require a budget-friendly guitar, but don't want to compromise on build quality, sound quality or playability. The APX700II benefits from the inclusion of the exclusive ART System 64 1-way preamp.

Body

The body has been crafted using a carefully chosen combination of nato for the back and sides, and solid spruce as the top. Nato has the excellent properties of being highly resilient, strong and durable - making it excellent in guitars that travel frequently. The solid spruce top is a fantastic soundboard, as its impressive ability to resonate with little effort involved allows it to project the robust tone of the nato with vigour. This gives the APX700II a rich tonality with a wide dynamic range.

Neck

Fitted to the body is a nato neck, which as previously stated has superb strength, making it a fantastic playing platform to perform on. Paired with the neck is a sumptuous feeling rosewood fingerboard, which offers a crisp and articulate response across each and every one of the 22 available frets. Thanks to the deep single-cutaway body profile, the upper frets are within easy reach, giving you the freedom of the neck in its entirety.

Electronics

ART preamps are known for picking up the true tone and nuances of a guitar, so with the Yamaha-exclusive System 64 on board the Yamaha APX700II you can expect to feel the body's full resonance projected through your amp.

The Yamaha APX700II screams to be used on-stage with a full tonal range being expressed, with crisp mids, beautifully weighted highs and reserved lows. The resonance of the guitar's unique body shape is accentuated by the non-scalloped X-type bracing, giving the top real clarity. With the cutaway design giving access to the top-frets, the APX thin-line body bringing playing comfort and a full tonal range being picked up by the amazing System 64 preamp the Yamaha APX700II would be a worthy addition to any gigging musicians arsenal.
